And I know for a fact that you don't believe this, at least to the degree you claim. I'll let Hugh Laurie here illustrate.
"You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways."
Thanks, Hugh! Say hi to Stephen Fry for me, ok?
"No problem, glad to be here. See you later!"
What a nice chap!
Anyway, regardless of whether you believe what you wrote or not, it has to be one of the sickest things I've read in a long time - and I read some pretty sick things, let me tell you. Take for instance the 9/11 attacks. Were you as appalled as the rest of us by the sheer atrocity of what happened and what led up to it, not to mention its aftermath, or did you celebrate yet another manifestation of God's plan?
This is not an assault, though you will perceive it as such; I genuinely want to know.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
